Trixie was never afraid of the fireworks and now at 14 she is deaf. She is getting up there in age and still manages ok by son's dog and really, I am not so much a dog lover. I don't hate them but...

Gorgeous color on that guitar. The Japanese truly had that down pat in the early 70’s!

I think you are right and I really found it hard to imagine a plastic piece like that being an original part. Thanks.

Help! 8 year old Gibson ES-275 with busted tailpiece

Oh, so do I, but as an exercise in getting round a tune it's nothing, stick one note in, arp the dim chord, whatever. The rest of the tune is probably a lot more troublesome to play. In fact, it...

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

These lyrics are out-datedly sexist.

Unheard nice songs

I call it a [pre-fabricated] text module because it is the same all the time. Uttered the same on every occasion. Call me rude if you wish. These are rude times.

Hopf archtop - opinions?

Unheard nice songs

I mean. I play tunes and still find this stuff interesting.

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

my idea is that this technique allows a better flowing phraising, because you have to thik to the fretboard like a piano player; you are forced to think to the notes and try to reach them; that seems...

three fingers technique

still not very helpful: he teachs more inclination in left hand but doesn’t play like that. and he teachs how to go forward but not backward, which is the less intuitive way to me…

three fingers technique

You know, this thread is about the second chord of Embraceable You which happens to be a bIII dim. Probably, if one is soloing over the tune, which is not fast, it would take about a single second to...

Embraceable You - second chord in progression

That looks like a Fasan archtop with a Hopf tailpiece. Same difference - a mid-level 16"+ archtop with a solid spruce top (pressed or carved), laminated back and rims, built in the 1950s. It appears...
